Function?

A function section would be appreciated. 216.75.114.13 (talk) 14:40, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Number of binding proteins

I think some better sources are required for this. In the "Synthesis and circulation" section it states there are 6 IGF-1 binding proteins (the source cited nearby talks about something else though, so this specific claim appears to be unsourced), and in the "Mechanism of action" section it states there are 7 binding proteins (this claim has a tag saying a medical citation is needed). I haven't got time at the moment to do a deep dive into the literature to find a source that confirms what the actual number is (nothing on the first search pages on PubMed or Google Scholar) so hopefully someone has a reliable source handy.
